ARTOMANA TXAKOLINA EUKENI ARDO APARDUNA 2021 — D.O. ARABAKO TXAKOLINA / TXAKOLI DE ALAVA

Ageing: Traditional “Méthode Champenoise” with a second fermentation in bottle, allowing the wine to develop complexity, finesse, and persistent bubbles.

Appearance: Pale yellow in color, clean and bright. Fine, persistent bubbles rise continuously, forming a delicate and long-lasting foam that gracefully covers the wine’s surface.

Aroma: Expressive and elegant, showcasing the full aromatic potential of the native Hondarrabi Zuri grape. Subtle floral hints accompany crisp notes of white fruit and delicate brioche nuances from the bottle aging.

Palate: Balanced and fresh on the palate. The fine effervescence enhances its light body, giving way to a smooth, clean mouthfeel with a refreshing acidity that lingers pleasantly.

Food pairing: Thanks to its freshness and bright acidity, it pairs especially well with fish, seafood, and white meats. It also stands beautifully on its own as an aperitif. Serve well chilled, between 4–6°C, and keep in an ice bucket during tasting to preserve its finesse.
